Question 1

What kind of books are you looking for?

Accepted Answer

I'm interested in small run books about Art, Artists, Graffiti, Hiphop, Skateboarding, Photography, Music, and 1980's & 1990's culture.

Question 2

Will you create and then Publish my book?

Accepted Answer

Yes..I'm interested in bringing artists books and projects to life. However with only so many hours in the day I do select projects that I'm the most passionate about and I think theres a need for and that I can bring something too.

Some things to keep in mind are : If i'm designing your book ( Which is scanning photos or art, laying out the contents as well as handling printing and shipping I do charge an hourly fee ) Its cost is dependent on the project. Please feel free to contact me for quotes.

If it's a project I'm exciting about I can usually come to a cost that works for everyone, but with that said Printing is not cheap and the production is time consuming but I feel worth it in the end.

Question 3

I've already laid out and designed my book, will you publish / print it and sell it on your site?

Accepted Answer

If you feel you have a good fit for the site or an idea  send me a message.

If you pay the cost of printing then I charge a one time fee for handling the printing process and a percentage of sales for handling the shipping and featuring the book on my site.

In the case we decide to collaborate and both agree to split the initial cost of printing then we'll usually split the sales  50 / 50 from then on out.

Question 4

I already have a book printed, will you sell it on your site?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if it's a book I'd like to feature I would either look for a wholesale discount price to buy it at or we can split a percentage of sales.

Question 5

Is there any money in making books?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not on the level I'm operating at. I choose to print small run books with an American based printer. So far I have not lost any money and have even made some back, but when comparing it to the amount of hours it takes to produce a book, and how the cost of everything from paper, to ink to shipping has increased while I keep my prices low. It's clearly a labor of love. If you're looking to get books made in 2025 ( and printed in America ) it should be because  its important to create a physical book and piece of art.

Question 6

Im not interested in selling books, I only need a designer and printer.

Accepted Answer

Sure, I've handled the design and printing of general books, catalogs for Art fairs & festivals, brochures for Schools, businesses, personal events and more. Please contact me for a quote.

Question 7

Am I looking to work with other Publishers?

Accepted Answer

YES!  My intentions are to get my releases to as many eyes as possible. If you have a publishing company with reach and like what I do send me a message.  Im an interested in the archive, design and production aspect of books. I operate a basic one person mail out business.  If you know how to expand my business, sales and reach then I'm looking to work with you. 
I'm also looking to expand to Europe as my content ( early 90's American and especially New York City Graffiti ) is highly sought after there. Unfortunately shipping from America is just too damn expensive so Im looking for a printing and distribution connection there. Send me a message if you have any ideas.
